of NH 3 emissions but 95% of NO x and SO 2
emissions from the EEA-32 in 2008. They fell by 4%, 5% and 17% respectively
between 2007 and 2008 in EEA32 countries (Since 1990, these energy related emissions
declined by 35% and 75% for NO x and SO 2 respectively but
increased by 103% for NH 3 in the EU-27 and declined by 30% (NO x )
and 71% (SO 2 ) and increased by 106% (NH 3 ) in EEA-32
member countries. However as noted earlier the percentage of energy related NH 3
emissions are insignificant compare dot the non-energy related NH 3
emissions. Most of the total reduction in pollutants contributing to acid
deposition since 1990 is accounted for by lower SO 2 emissions from
the energy-producing sector and lower NO x emissions from the
transport sector. Despite significant progress and the EU-27 on not track to
meet overall targets [1] ,
further reductions are needed to improve remaining local and transboundary air
pollution issues, and for ensuring that individual countries meet emissions
ceiling targets under the National Emissions Ceilings Directive (NECD) and the
UNECE Gothenburg Protocol.
